Hi John,

I do not remember if I have sent you an answer regarding one of
the questions you have asked me. I got the following response from
the design center:

>The software in question is the famous "nscpdl". We had the intention  of
>providing a "bulletin-board", but never went through with it.

Just to expalin. NSCPDL is a minimal PDL language to allow for easy
port of Page Description Languages to run on a 32000 platform. We
use it a lot when we do such porting. It basically allows you to deal
first with the drivers with a minimal set PDl. You then recompile the
PDL with no optimization and get it up and running. The last stage
is code optimization.
